or Council thought they should add a point to those criteria or change the scoring <br />criteria, those would be the ones impacted. Mr. Culver stated to expand on that, of <br />the top four the second item has 23 points and item nine and sixteen each have 22 <br />points. <br />Member Misra asked which section of Lexington is being discussed. Mr. Culver <br />indicated from County C to County Road D they have a trail on the west side but <br />on the east side through that stretch there is not a trail. Items nine and sixteen do <br />not have a trail or pathway on either side. If they want to apply for some Federal <br />funds or some other grant opportunity, they should focus on a green segment versus <br />a non -highlighted section. He looked at it as a tie-break or allowing them some <br />additional information as they are looking at that list. <br />Member Misra stated that is a part of Lexington that she brought up before between <br />County Road C and County Road D where Woodhill crosses and north is a T <br />intersection but there is nothing until County Road D. Mr. Culver noted there is a <br />flasher system at Dairy Queen between Josephine Park and the Dairy Queen <br />otherwise there is only the signal at Woodhill and County Road D. She thought it <br />was interesting that the scoring system ends up prioritizing that as much as it does <br />given that there is nothing there whereas the other side has the park and the lake <br />and the residential areas which she thought was probably a fluke in the scoring <br />system. She did not know why that would take any sense of priority over some that <br />are scored quite a bit lower. Mr. Culver stated that is why it is a preference list <br />rather versus a set priority list because they are going to get some ambiguity and <br />some discretion among those sections. They wanted to make sure it was on the list <br />because as one of their policies, Lexington has well over 4,000 cars per day on it <br />and can be a very busy road, there being a 40 mph stretch through the area being <br />discussed, and there is not a controlled crossing between County Road C and <br />County Road D so from a policy perspective staff still thinks there should be a <br />pathway on both sides and as opportunities arise they will complete that gap but it <br />should not take priority over some of the other areas that don't have anything on <br />either side. <br />Member Misra asked if it was possible that by putting a sidewalk there they are <br />encouraging people to cross there. She thought the current crosswalks were <br />appropriate given where the housing is located. Mr. Culver stated there are people <br />who are walking along County Road C2 on the east side of Lexington that cannot <br />cross safely, or a controlled manner. Given that type of roadway and the functional <br />classification, there should be a separated pathway on both sides of the roadway <br />ultimately. <br />Member Joyce asked if there was room with the wetland. Mr. Culver stated there <br />is room on the east side. Mr. Freihammer stated it is tight in a few spots but there <br />is room. He stated they do not look at the feasibility or the cost to construct at this <br />point. The scoring does not rank cost at all. <br />Page 5 of 16 <br />
